Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones: A Novel

Zoey Fitzpatrick has lived a life of quiet loneliness, until she discovers that her brother Jamie is still alive — and possessed with not one but two fallen angels.

Fallen angel Ariel has lived an eons-long life of benign serial possession, easily hopscotching from one crazed, homeless human host to the next, until he discovers to his shock that he cannot escape his latest human host – Zoey’s brother Jamie.

Only by working with Ariel can Zoey save Jamie. But in working together, both Zoey and Ariel begin an inter-generational chain reaction that will unite the living with the dead, the fallen with the unfallen, and the ordinary with the miraculous.

In a journey towards an impossible role — to become a Beatrice, an unwitting guide for wayward souls and co-partners with embattled angels against the forces of Lucifer’s army – Zoey must battle death itself.

An urban literary fantasy, with homage to Dante, Shakespeare, and Milton, YE WATCHERS AND YE HOLY ONES is not your ordinary paranormal romance.
